hi, I'm alison.

Give me nature and a cup of coffee, and my day is made.
I don’t take life too seriously—
especially after almost losing it to a brain tumor (winning!).
I love hiking, spending time with my family, and trying new food around Sonoma County. I spend almost all of my free time at the beach with my four dogs—yes, you read that right, four dogs.
I feel incredibly fortunate to live in this area, and I love driving around discovering new places in the entire Northern California region.
I believe a photographer shouldn’t just be someone who shows up and takes your pictures—they should feel like a best friend behind the camera.
I’m invested in you—your story and your “why.”
I love to have fun and create not only beautiful images, but meaningful art you’ll cherish forever.
Photography isn’t just a career for me—it’s an honor. I hold your story and your memories close to my heart.

northern california wedding photographer

artist / storyteller

I believe every love story is unique, and every wedding deserves to be captured with care, creativity, and heart. I’m inspired by genuine moments—the laughter, the tears, the details that make your day truly yours. My approach blends artistry with storytelling, creating images that feel timeless, authentic, and full of emotion.

We would make a great fit if you value connection, joy, and real moments over staged perfection.
Choosing me means having a photographer who truly sees you, your story, and your love—and captures it in the most genuine way.
Serving California, the west coast, and worldwide!

Inspiration 01

My household is packed with paws and our hearts are even fuller because of them—Growing up, family time was everything, and my dad always had a camcorder or film camera in hand, capturing moments so our memories could last a lifetime. Those experiences inspired my love for photography and my passion for preserving real, meaningful moments. 

Inspiration 02

I was the girl always taking pictures, making photo albums, and scrapbooks back in the ’90s. I bought my first professional camera straight out of high school, and photography has been a mild obsession ever since.
As a brain tumor survivor, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the value of a moment. I approach every session and wedding with light, love, and enthusiasm—aware that time is fleeting and every moment counts.

Inspiration 03

Your story is at the heart of what I do.
I’m constantly inspired by the couples and families I meet—the way they connect, the small moments that feel ordinary to you but extraordinary through the lens. Every session teaches me something new about love, resilience, and the bonds that hold people together.

My approach is simple: I want you to feel comfortable enough to be yourselves. I focus on creating space for natural moments to unfold, so the images reflect your story in a way that feels genuine and true to you.
